No signal after removing graphics card

[CoolMarquis97]

Hey all, I’m having a recent issue with my PC. So I went to remove my graphics card to replace it with another one and now I’m not getting any signal. HDMI, DisplayPort, doesn’t matter. Nothing appears on the screen. The graphics card is getting power and all my fans are spinning in the case. I’ve looked around online and some people say that a clearing the CMOS might fix the issue. However, I have a Ryzen 3600 with a B450 Tomahawk and has to update the bios in order to get the 3600 to work. If I was to clear the cmos, would I then need to flash the bios again?

 

I’ve tried everything from different cables, different monitors. I even switched to a new PC and it booted instantly, so obviously it’s something with my motherboard or CPU acting strange.

 

Thanks for any tips!

Clearing CMOS will only reset all configurations back to default. It will not reset the Bios back to a different version.

 

If you are trying to get display with NO GPU installed, this is a normal condition, as the Ryzen platform does not come with on board graphics unless it is one of the APU processors with Vega Graphics. I presume you know this, however and that you have a GPU installed when the concern is present.

 

I would try a different PCI slot if you have one, see if that changes anything. Or you could also just reseat the GPU into the first slot too and see if it changes.

And pulling the CMOS, as noted above, will reset any boot configurations currently in BIOS, NOT roll it back to a previous revision.  Pull CMOS, I would
